Anagha Mishra

Anagha Mishra is the founder of Aunty Misri, a Sunnyvale-based company that creates globally-inspired bake-at-home dessert kits. Before launching the business, she worked as a Physical Design Engineer at Intel in Santa Clara, California, on backend Place and Route design.

Anagha grew up in India, where her first baking memory was her mother making a marble cake shaped like a bunny for her fifth birthday. She moved to the U.S. for a postgraduate program to pursue hardware engineering, eventually joining Intel. The pandemic changed things: baking eggless desserts for her husband became a joyful escape, and every new recipe brought back those childhood afternoons in her mother's kitchen. Friends and family kept asking for more, and eventually the demand outpaced what she could bake by hand.

That sparked the idea for bake-at-home kits -- no chasing niche ingredients or guessing measurements, just the fun of mixing, decorating, and sharing. Aunty Misri launched in 2024 with globally-inspired flavors: Kesari Gulab Jamun Bundt Cake, Peruvian Noir Chocolate Cake, Persian Love Cake, and Marrakesh Spiced Coffee Muffins. Anagha was selected as a 2024 Jabza Fellow, recognizing her among a cohort of South Asian founders building businesses with social impact. She lives in Sunnyvale with her husband and two dogs.
